Reflecting, I think this post and biological leninism explain the phenomena of cultural marxism better than any source I am aware of.

In fact, we shouldn't be talking about cultural marxism anymore, Spandrell's formulation that Leftism doesn't have to be anything in particular - "it just has to get the job done" by promising low competence people glory, I think is the more accurate description of the enterprise

It has the further benefit of not relying on a conspiracy between academics, this is an *emergent reality* , its a fact of what leftism is at its essence and requires no coordination between the Frankfurt School and the KGB or Antifa and the DNC .

We just need to know that Leftism is simply an *emergent phenomena* based upon the Machiavellian formulation of a political party seeking to promise status to the dregs (and the context will shift the targets naturally, it need not be planned).

The emergent phenomenon of Leftism (need a better name) is the main thing. However, the theories that arise and circulate to justify it do have importance in their own right.
